Garrick Playhouse, Altrincham

Saturday 30th October. Garrick Playhouse, Altrincham.

One day off doesn't seem a lot, and before long we are back in the car and the van, heading across the M62 towards Altrincham, near Manchester.

Gemma is with us for the last time today, as Fay returns from her holiday today, and will come back into the show on Monday at Runcorn.

We get a visit from Mike Palmer and his girlfriend Jenny Furness. Mike and Jenny did a ship contract for us a few years ago, and are working nearby. Good to see some friendly faces again.

This is one of the 'there and back in a day' venues, and although it is a long day, it means that there are no Travelodges to find at midnight. Two good shows and it is off home. Tonight is Jenni's last night staying with Colin and Marie before making her way home to Hull. Lily and Erika are off to stay with Natalie tonight, and have a glass or two of relaxing juice. Both Natalie and Erika have family in the audiences today, which is always good for the nervous system.

Four days to look forward to next week, but for now its a day off. The boys are looking forward to the local derby match between Sunderland and Newcastle, while Marie and Colin need to head to Whitby to do some research for a possible Goth show. Yes, you read it correctly. More to follow as it happens.
